OverviewContributors

Challenge

Indonesia's healthcare system is rated as one of the poorest among Asian countries. Over 28 million people (11% of the population) live below the poverty line of $17 a month, and about half the population have incomes below $60 a month. Although basic health services exist in all districts, equity and affordability of healthcare remains a constraint. According to the Department of Health, 40% of people still resort to traditional healers.

Description

At InMed, we aim to address the challenge of unequal healthcare access in Indonesia by providing high-quality healthcare services directly at patients' residences. The program extends medical assistance from urban zones to rural ones, ensuring better access to medical services. InMed connects health workers and patients using mobile apps and a website, allowing health workers to be dispatched to patient homes for various healthcare services.
